Phenols coupled during oxidation upstream of water treatment would generate higher toxic coupling phenolic disinfection by-products during chlorination disinfection.

Phenolic compounds usually produce coupling phenols during the upstream oxidation treatment of water, but the disinfection by-products (DBPs) of coupling phenols in the subsequent disinfection process have been overlooked. Herein, we demonstrated the generation and higher toxicity of these DBPs. In Songhua River water, 0.

Synthetic Optimization and Antibacterial Activity of Novel Benzodioxepine-Biphenyl Amide Derivatives.

The biosynthesis of fatty acids constitutes a critical metabolic pathway in bacterial organisms. Prior investigations have highlighted the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds anchored in the benzodioxepin scaffold, noted for their pronounced antibacterial properties. Leveraging this foundational knowledge, the current research endeavors to meticulously engineer and synthesize a series of eight innovative benzodioxepin amide-biphenyl derivatives.

NLRP3 Plays a Key Role in Antihelminth Immunity in the Enteral and Parenteral Stages of Trichinella spiralis-Infected Mice.

Trichinellosis is an important foodborne zoonosis, and no effective treatments are yet available. Nod-like receptor (NLR) plays a critical role in the host response against nematodes. Therefore, we aimed to explore the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3) during the adult, migrating, and encysted stages of Trichinella spiralis infection.

Pelvic retroperitoneal pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) of soft tissue: a case report.

Background: Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare soft tissue tumor of low malignant potential, which most often arises in the lower extremities. Lesions occurred in other anatomic locations have been rarely reported. Moreover, their imaging features have not been well discussed.

Finite element analysis of a bone healing model: 1-year follow-up after internal fixation surgery for femoral fracture.

Finite element analysis was used to compare preoperative and postoperative stress distribution of a bone healing model of femur fracture, to identify whether broken ends of fractured bone would break or not after fixation dislodgement one year after intramedullary nailing. Method s: Using fast, personalized imaging, bone healing models of femur fracture were constructed based on data from multi-slice spiral computed tomography using Mimics, Geomagic Studio, and Abaqus software packages. The intramedullary pin was removed by Boolean operations before fixation was dislodged.

Cardiac fibromas in the adult.

Background: Cardiac fibromas are primarily detected in infants and children but are extremely rare in adults.

Methods: We report a case of a cardiac fibroma in a 37 year old male and review the literature on this subject.

Result: The patient was referred for evaluation of a cardiac mass.

Extrahepatic primary adrenal alveolar echinococcosis: a review.

Background: Primary echinococcosis, and especially primary alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is rare among adrenal lesions.

Methods: We report a case of primary AE in a 28-year-old male with low backache and occasional upper limb pain lasting for six months, and review the pertinent but sparse literature on this disorder.

Results: Evaluation of the patient revealed an abdominal mass as right adrenal AE.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma arising from calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor: a case report.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is an exceptionally rare and malignant odontogenic tumor with aggressive growth characteristics. We describe a case of GCOC which was considerably derived from a previously resected calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT). Cellular atypia, mitotic activity, Ki-67 labeling index and matrix metalloprotease-9 positive expression rate were all increased in the currently resected specimen compared to the initial one.

Solid variant of keratocystic odontogenic tumor with ameloblastomatous transformation: a case report and review of the literature.

The solid variant of keratocystic odontogenic tumor is an extremely rare tumor. Its clinical and pathologic features remain poorly defined, even in the 2005 World Health Organization odontogenic tumor classification. We report an unusual lesion in a 38-year-old female Chinese patient.

Small peripheral lung adenocarcinoma: CT and histopathologic characteristics and prognostic implications.

Since the introduction of computed tomography (CT), detection of small lung cancer, especially small peripheral adenocarcinoma, is common. Recently, the morphological characteristics, including thin-section CT and pathologic findings, and prognosis of small peripheral lung adenocarcinomas have been studied extensively. The radiologic and microscopic findings correlate well with each other and are closely associated with tumour prognosis.

Comparative study of earthquake-related and non-earthquake-related head traumas using multidetector computed tomography.

Objective: The features of earthquake-related head injuries may be different from those of injuries obtained in daily life because of differences in circumstances. We aim to compare the features of head traumas caused by the Sichuan earthquake with those of other common head traumas using multidetector computed tomography.

Methods: In total, 221 patients with earthquake-related head traumas (the earthquake group) and 221 patients with other common head traumas (the non-earthquake group) were enrolled in our study, and their computed tomographic findings were compared.

[Anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic effects of curcumin on oral cancer cells].

Objective: The purpose of this article is to examine the effect of curcumin on the proliferation and metastasis of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma and analyze its mechanism.

Methods: SCC-4 were treated with curcumin of 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 100 micromol x L(-1) in 24 h. MTT assay, Matrigel invasion assay, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy were used to examine the effect of curcumin on the growth and metastasis of SCC-4.

Myopericytoma involving the parotid gland as depicted on multidetector CT.

Myopericytoma is a newly proposed subgroup of perivascular tumors in the World Health Organization classification of soft tissue tumors. In this study, we report a case of a benign myopericytoma with detailed multidetector CT (MDCT) findings in the parotid gland, a location that has not been described for this type of tumor previously. The clinical presentation, imaging features, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, and the differential diagnosis with other tumors in the parotid gland are described and reviewed.

[Interspecies nuclear transfer using nonquiescent somatic cell].

It is the point at issue in intraspecies nuclear transfer whether quiescence is necessary for development of nuclear transfer reconstructed embryos. In the interspecies nuclear transfer, some reports have proved that quiescent cell is able to support preimplantation development of the interspecies reconstructed embryos. Are non-quiescent cells able to support preimplantation development of the interspecies reconstructed embryos? We used non-quiescent somatic cells from C57BL/6 mice and giant pandas as donors to transfer into enucleated rabbit oocytes.
